I think I chose this because it had the best price of any 1TB drive at the time, at ~$0.06 per gb. I can't find anything wrong with it, and generally speaking, I don't think I'd be hearing it over my fans.

Is great for cheap mass storage, I use it to store some Games, Music, Movies etc, I recommend one for every build and if your on a tight budget, I would even forget about an SSD and just use this, which will perform just as well, but with slightly longer load times for everything, does make a very small noise (disc spinning) but can only be heard if your ear is right next to it.
